Again, that wasnt the perceived goal here. That was the perception among his supporters that think its gone too far. Lets get more from Griff Jenkins. Thats right, neil. Fox news confirmed that former President Trump is indeed in the courtroom right now. He entered at about 3 52 p. M. So just under ten minutes ago. Hes wearing a blue suit, a red to you. Flanked by his two attorneys. Fox has confirmed that we expect him to plead not guilty to the four felony charges hes facing in this indictment. Three are conspiracy charges, one is obstruction. Before he entered that courtroom, a little less than an hour ago, his motorcade entered the garage here at the federal courthouse. He was processed and fingerprinted. Theres no mug shot taken because the court says theres plenty of pictures of him to provide. Hes not arrested. But he is obviously being processed. Now we wait for this Court Proceeding to get underway at the time of our note from our producer, jay gibson inside, the Magistrate Jud
I never told you this, but i worked in that courthouse for more than a year. i was a clerk for one of the great d.c. circuit judges. very aware of the historic importance of that courtroom. that is the courtroom where president truman was stopped from seizing the steel middles. that s where president nixon was made to hand over the tapes for the watergate case. the most important criminal trial in the history of our country will take place in the d.c. courthouse. it s on par with the earlier decisions, the earlier cases that means so much to the constitution and our political system. it s actually not a very big courtroom. it looks like a lot of the others. the judge is way up there on a dias. the prosecution and the defense sit close to each other. they ll be looking at each other
Thick. the trigger thing you mentioned is the perfect example of this. it s a threat. it s meant to be so distasteful as to force congress to compromise because if they don t compromise, defense will be arbitrarily cut at the $600 billion number. if you look at that threat and if they have to implement it, guess who has to decide the details of this? congress. future congress. now let me really blow your mind, that $600 billion cut is based off a fake number, cbo baseline, it s a projection of defense spending that no one ever thought was real. you could cut billions from the defense budget and the defense budget could still keep rising. it s comparing fake numbers against fake numbers so everybody can claim to cut the defense sit and budget. having a pageant that s about a play that is based on history in order to talk about what s going on in current events.
